Sorry I took so long to update this. I kind of had a hard time writing this chapter for some unknown reason. Since school has already started, not sure how long it'll take for the next chapter to come out. yes I've read chapter 56. I might incorporate some of the revelations in that chapter into this story. i guess the ending of this chapter is kind of a cliffhanger.


The next day, It was my turn to make breakfast for everyone. luckily the list of chores was short that day. After everyone finished their chores, Levi had me do the same practice. It took three tries for me to finish it within the allotted time. He told me for the next few weeks the training sessions are gonna get harder until I get used to them, and eventually he'll have me practice killing titan dummies. Levi also plans to have Edith tells some random citizens in Trost and later in other cities in order decrease the numbers of those who support the government. Also someone sent an extra bed to us for Edith to sleep on so she's now in the same room as Mikasa,Sasha, and I are sharing.

I felt a gentle tug on my wrist, waking me up. I'm not usually a heavy sleeper, so a simple touch can wake me up sometimes. I opened my eyes to see that the culprit was Sasha.

"We have to go eat breakfast soon, Today's gonna be a busy day. First, we have to help set up the scouting legions new farm by settling the farm animals in, then we have to do some more training if there's time." I got up and joined everyone at the breakfast table. After finishing breakfast, we all followed Levi outside. After walking for about a half and hour, we all finally reached the destination. The farm was a medium sized one. It wasn't huge but i've seen smaller farm than this one though. Luckily there's already some crops there, so hopefully I won't have to plant seed again for now at least.

"Since we've reach the destination. here's the list of chores needed to be done. Jean,Connie, Armin! You three are working together. Sasha and Mikasa, you two will be working together. Finally Edith and Berta, you two form the last group." Captain clean freak handed each group a list of chores to be done. I looked at our list. The chores we were assigned were as followed: water the plants, remove rotting fruit from trees, put hay in the troughs in the barn, after the the first three chores are done tell me then i'll get the hens and the rooster ready so you two can put them in the hen house and settle them in, feed the chickens, and finally help squad leader Viktor sheer the sheep. After several long hours out in the grueling heat, we end up finishing first before the rest of the squad. Since we finished first Levi allowed us to sit down and talk if we wanted while waiting for the others. We sat under the shade under the large oak tree.

"Just wondering, you were the titan who was running around Trost a few days ago right," I simply gave her nod, "What caused you to transform, and how did break free? How's it like to transform into a titan? Sorry if i'm bugging you with all these questions, there's just too many things i want know about them since the government won't." I then explained to her what I knew and answered her questions.

After I answered her questions, she then asked, "In case, the scouting legion can't successfully overthrow the government, and if both of us are still alive by then, would you like to run away with me out of these walls?"

"Maybe depending how these next few months play out. Like you, I hate the government, and i'm sure they are responsible for at least most of the problems you people are facing."

"If we do end up overthrowing the government, who's gonna take over. I sure wouldn't want our squad leader to take over."

"Yeah he'll probably go mad with power and kill those who think 'little' of him." We laughed for a little bit.

"Let's stop making jokes about him, so he won't catch us. Switching topics, there's something I want to tell you. You know when I introduced myself to you two days, there's one thing I forgot to mention to you. You see my dad once worked for the central police. He kept it a secret from me and my mom for a while. But one day when I was 8 years old, my mom somehow found out about his job and what he did, she killed herself. Feeling guilty, my dad deserted them and took me into hiding with him. We initially lived in the city of Pathas, then moved to Trost after Shinganshina got breached. After several years they found my dad and killed him, and sold me into slavery. The only other people here I told this was to were Sasha and Mikasa, after they rescued me, and luckily they didn't tell the others yet hopefully. I don't want to tell the boys because i'm afraid Connie will spill the beans to Levi since he's such a big mouth. I'm not sure if I can trust Levi. He looks pretty shady if you ask me."

"I don't like Levi either. If the government wasn't so corrupt and if the citizens weren't such in bad shape, I would've ran away or at least try to several times already. I feel sorry for all the innocents who have been trapped here in this hell hole for their whole lives."

"Chit-chat time is over Brats! We need to do some training before the day is over!" We both jumped from where we were sitting when we heard him yell.

"It was nice talking to you Berta."

"Same here."

We caught up with the rest of the group. Our training sessions were understandably short today.

~timeskip~

The next month and and half flew by fast. I finally learned how to use the 3dmg sufficiently, and Edith will probably do so also in the next few weeks. We also continued to prepare for a possible influx of refugees such storing up surplus food and water, and creating evacuation plans. We also set up cots and stored up medical supplies. On some days, our squad would leave base and travel to different parts of wall rose, where Edith, and Armin would share to a crowd of people their stories of their negative experiences with the government. I learned that Armin's parents and Grandpa were sent out to die after the fall of Wall Maria along with hundreds of thousands of other people, since the government didn't want to take them in as refugees. After they shared the stories, occasionally some people would stand up share their own stories of witnessing government corruption and stuff. Some would also share their own grievances with the government also. We all lived day by day on our toes in case to government decided to step out of the shadows, and oppress the people even more.

Then one night, I was woken up a loud knocking sound on the front door. Even though I was dead tired, the knocking had woken me up. Hearing Sasha,Mikasa, and Edith snoring, I got out of bed and walked towards the door, half asleep.
